Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with a suitable option:
    The TV program was so _________ that I felt asleep.
    Solution
    Answer : D

    Adjectives are words used to describe a noun.
    Types:
    • Descriptive Adjectives : They are used to show quality or kind of the noun.
    • Quantitative Adjectives : They are used to express quantity of the noun.
    • Possessive Adjectives : They are used to show possession or ownership over the noun.
    • Demonstrative Adjectives : They are used to demonstrate or make a clear reference to the noun.

    Here, the adjective that we will use to complete the sentence would be describing the "TV program" (Descriptive Adjective). After reading the sentence we understand that the TV program was not interesting as the speaker had felt asleep watching it.

    Therefore, the most suitable option is "boring".

    Thus, the correct complete sentence is:
    The TV program was so  BORING  that I felt asleep.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    I'll be ready in _____ minutes.
    Solution
    Adjectives are used in the sentence to define nouns as well as characterize them to differentiate from other nouns. Adjectives are words that describe the kind of noun, its state, quality, quantity, amount, etc in the sentence. It does not provide exact number of noun however tell only amount. It indicates ‘how much’ noun is there in the sentence. Similarly in this case also, we would be using the adjective of quantity. In option A, "a lot" is not in a complete form, to use it in a complete form in a sentence, it should be "a lot of". Option A is the wrong choice. In option B and C, little and much are used for uncountable nouns whereas minutes is countable. These two are eliminated as well. This gives us "a few". "A few" usually signifies something more than "few" but less than "a lot". Option D is the answer.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    I have _____ close friends. Two or three.
    Solution
    When it comes to "few" or "little" addition of a changes the meaning of the sentence. 'Few' signifies a very small quantity where as a few means some but not a lot. In this sentence, it is the latter one. The first person here is trying to say that he/she is having some friends. Little and much are used for uncountable noun, "friends" over here is a countable noun. "A lot of" is not valid here as the person is having only two or three friends and thus the adjective lies between few and a lot. 
    Option C is correct. 
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    A bee is _______ than a bird.
    Solution
    Comparative adjectives are used to compare differences between the two objects they modify (larger, smaller, faster, higher). They are used in sentences where two nouns are compared, in this pattern: Noun (subject) + verb +comparative adjective + than + noun (object). Usually in words with one syllable, the comparative degree is obtained by adding an -er to the positive degree. Similarly in this question, "small" (Option D) is the positive degree. To make it to a comparative one, we will add an -er to it, which makes it "smaller". Thus Option A is correct. Option B and C gives the superlative degree of the adjectives. 
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    I saw _____ change on the table a minute ago.
    Solution
    Adjective of quantity indicates the amount or estimated amount of the noun or pronoun in the sentence. It does not provide information about exact numbers, it tells only the amount of noun in relative or whole terms. 
    Option A: Much is used for uncountable nouns. 
    Option B: Some can be used with plural countable nouns and uncountable nouns. Some is usually used in positive statements.
    Option C: Many is used for countable nouns.  
    Option D: Any is usually used for plural countable nouns and uncountable nouns in questions and negative statements.
    In this sentence we cannot properly understand the noun being countable or uncountable. The sentence is positive so we cannot use any. Option B is correct. 
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    She only takes ____ sugar in her tea.
    Solution
    The word 'only' indicates that the subject takes a small amount of sugar in her tea. Thus, the answer must mean 'a small amount'. 
    Option A is incorrect. 'few' is close in meaning to the required one but, the adjective 'few' is only used with plural objects. Since sugar is singular, using 'few' will make the sentence grammatically incorrect.
    Option B is incorrect. 'a lot' means 'a great amount'. Thus, it has the opposite meaning of what is required and cannot be the answer.
    Option C is correct. 'a little' means 'a small amount'. Also, it is generally used with singular objects and so, it meets all the required conditions. Thus, it is correct.
    Option D is incorrect. 'a few', similar to 'few', is only used with plural objects and since our object is singular, D cannot be the answer.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
    Helen has got only _____ money.
    Solution
    It is clear from the sentence that the answer must be an adjective. Further, the sentence indicates that Helen has a certain amount of money. Thus, the answer must be an adjective of quantity. 
    Option A is incorrect. 'Any' is generally used in a negative or interrogative sentence. It does not fit well wit the object 'money' in this case.
    Option B is correct. 'a little' is an adjective of quantity that fits well with the object 'money'. Further, the word 'only' indicates that the amount of money is small. Thus, 'a little' justifies the presence of 'only' in the sentence.
    Option C is incorrect. 'no' cannot be used as it does not justify the presence of 'only'. 'only' indicates that the amount of money that Helen has is small but existent and 'no' contradicts that. 
    Option D is incorrect. 'few' cannot be used as it is only used for plural objects. Also, it is generally used for countable objects and 'money' is not one of them. Thus, it does not fit well with 'money'.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    There are _____ people in the office.
    Solution
    The sentence demands some quantity to be given with the noun ‘people’. So, it demands an adjective of quantity. Adjectives of quantity describe the quantity or the estimated amount of the noun or pronoun. Adjective of Quantity do not state exact numbers of quantity and only tell us the approximate amount of the noun or the pronoun.
    In this sentence, option A is ruled out as ‘the’ is an article and not an adjective of quantity. Options B, C and D can be used as adjective of quantity. Option B cannot be used as ’little’ is used with uncountable nouns like salt, sugar, etc. and ‘people’ is a countable noun. Option D cannot be used as ‘any’ refers to single entity like person, when used with countable nouns and ‘people’ refers to more than one person. So, Option C or ‘some’ is the correct option as it can correctly be used with the noun ‘people.’
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    I need a TV set.
    Why don't you buy _____? [Basic]
    Solution
    A numeral adjective is an adjective that tells us about how many or how much or in what order the noun is. Definite numeral adjectives are ones which use cardinal (numbers used in an amount) and ordinals (numbers used as an order). 'One' is the cardinal number. Thus, option B is the correct answer. 
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.

    Solution
    A numeral adjective is an adjective that tells us about how many or how much or in what order the noun is.
